This Company proposes to avail itself of the valuable experience of the American Trust Companies, and to combine the Adminis tration of Trusts on the Guarantee of the Company's Capital, with the business of Life Assurance in all its branches. The Company will undertake the execution of every Species of Trust ; and the inducements which it holdi out are among others, First, The Impossibility of Loss, since the whole Property must be made good out of the Capital of the Company and its Members. Secondly, The diligent and faithful performance of the Trust, which will be insured by the responsibility incurred, but still more by the commercial character and credit of the Company with the public. Thirdly, The avoiding of all delay and expense incident to the ap pointment of new Trustees under the existing system. In every respect a Company is preferable to an individual for managing onerous bequests, because no individual, however compe tent or trustworthy, can pretend to the same perpetuity of exis tence, nor can the same entire confidence be placed in any indivi dual that would be reposed in a public body, in whom by vesting a trust every testator must know that his legatees will avoid those hazards and inconveniencies, those contingencies and annoyances, against which no solitary executor, however honourable—no iso lated trustee, however wealthy—can offer an effectual guarantee. Thus a parent by his will, or on his daughter's marriage, appoint ing this Company Trustees for his children and descendants, may be morally certain that the principal of their fortunes will be forth coming years after he may be dead, and that all income will be duly applied or invested; there being the guarantee, not of two or three Trustees or Executors, or possibly of one only, but of the Capital and Property of the Company and its Members. The Company . will undertake, at the option of the Settler, the due investment of funds according to any prescribed mode, or will guarantee a specific income, and adopt its own mode of investment. The Assurance Department holds out every advantage which experience and liberality have imported into the modern offices, together with the additional benefit of allowing the Assured a pars ticipation on equal terms with the Shareholders of the profits of the Trust Business. The Scales of Premiums for Life Insurances and Deferred An nuities have been calculated en the most moderate terms compatible with safety. And in order to give every facility to the Assured of visiting foreign countries, the extra premiums in such cases will not be arbitrarily imposed, but Tables will from time to time be pre pared, graduating as far as practicable, the risks according to the length of voyage, climate of the sountry to be visited, and other circumstances. In case of accidental forfeiture on non-payment of premium, if satisfactory explanation be given within three calendar months, the Company will renew the policy on payment of a moderate fine, without regard to the present health of the Assured. The Company are enabled to hold out peculiarly great advan tages to its Stock-holder and the Assured by reason of the compa ratively high rate of interest which they are satisfied can be obtained by the investment of funds, as well in Great Britain as in her Colonies, on those unexceptionable securities, of which many of the established Companies are now precluded from availing themselves.

September, 1838. SAMUEL FENNING, Secretary. In consequence of the destruction of the ROYAL EXCHANGE, by Fire, the business of the Company in all its branches, is carried on at their New Premises, No. 21, LOMBARD-STREET, until their Offices on the Royal Exchange are rebuilt. T HE interested in Raising of Water should buy this Paper FOUNTAIN` PUMPS. The most powerful Hydraulic Machines in the world ; and for the preservation of life and property at sea, the greatest discovery Brpo aw, Primps pe o u at m g, a e l n o , s f ot testimonials t o l n Y ne l ! P I so p tu l i hma t w that has been made since th e crea ti on o f man ; w hi c h a few ex tracts from Fountainjoh : John eachfixed in t t li h r r e e e e of his own ships, and found they always discharged double the water the common pumps discharged, and with less labour, likewise the Fountain Pumps proved infinitely less liable to choak. Captains Brock, Rutherford, Goodridge, and Greig, severally testify that their ships, their cargoes, and their lives were all saved through the means of the Fountain Pumps; and their testimonials most strikingly mark how various are the casualties that render these powerful machines all-important on ship-board. The Spring encountered Heavy Gales of Wind for eleven days, and must have been lost, but for the Fountain Pump, at one time a few tons more water in the vessel would have caused that catastrophe. The Argus sprung a leak, and for eighteen days and nineteen nights the Fountain Pump was worked without intermission, and saved the ship, whilst for all the water that could have been dis charged with the common Pump alongside of it (which the third day became useless) the brig must have sank, and that in the course of a Few Hours. The Friends Goodwill, started a Butts'-head, and no Pump in existence, but the Fountain Pump, could have saved that vessel from destruction. The Caroline had Two Seams of her Bottom partly left without Caulking, yet the Fountain Pump saved the ship, and 230 souls on board. These are some of the achievements of the Fountain Pump, i n its infant state as predicted in the " Norwich Mercury, July 24, 1824, in this formal manner :—" On the thirtieth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-four, in the fifth year of the reign of King George the Fourth, was the first Fountain Pump in action. With which Two Men can keep full of water a Spout of Six Inches bore, and save poor tars by thousands." Things were then mainly in theory; but now the high practical bearing of th e invention demands universal adoption ; and intimates the Preserva tion of Millions of Lives, and Property beyond calculation. The principle of the Fountain Pump is that of Jehovah's diaphragm pump, which Principle acts as freely in art as it does in nature. The principle of the common Pump is bad, and its defects are palpable and insurmountable, if a pipe and a poker can be called a principle. Lifting Pumps have hollow pokers, called pistons ; forcing pum rs have solid pokers called plungers. Lifting forcing Pumps have hollow pokers w o r k in piper, and solid pokers work in stuffing boxes. These Pumps are the most defective from the 'extra friction cf their solid pokers. The London manufacturers of the last defective tools, fulminate their dependents who dare to fix Fountain Pumps ; yet no ma n in England dares meet the Norwich Pump in fair public combat. However, the public are not to be gulled; and friction pumps, both old and new, public and private, for low or high elevations, with the power of man, horse, or steam, keep falling in all directions as Frictionless Pumps approach their situations ; and fall the common Pump will, or common sense must. There is no mystery or difficulty in raising of water now the right way is known, for it is only lifting a weight in a fluid state. Rule to guage cylinders, and how to prove what friction adds to the labour of pumping. Mark, 13 feet of 1-inch pipe will contain 71 oz., or 13 feet of 4-inch pipe 711bs. of common water :—Take a Pump with a 4-inch cylinder, measure 39 inches downwards from the bottom of the spout to the water's surface, load a piston that has a cupped leather (which is the best kind of packing) till it sinks in the water in the Pump ; then draw up the piston with a spring steelyard, and when the water begins to 'rise, if the index of the steelyard stands at 281b5., 17albs. is the weight of that column of water, and 101-lbs. is the resistance of friction. This will unfold more than engineers know respecting Pumps, guard the experimental public from gullibility, and prove that it is as easy to make a balloon dangle the Monument over London, as it is to make a good Pump upon the old principle. See in Mechanics' Magazine (No. 653) a drawing of a ship's Fountain Pump, with raising of water for general purposes exem plified. I now beg to notice a machine that performs in a most extraor dinary style, augmenting its legitimate delivery by velocit y from 260 to 420 barrels of water per hour. (The Southwark Water Company supply 1,230 barrels of water per hour.) About nine months ago a pair of No. 8 Fountain Pumps were fixed at Messrs. Starks, dyers, Norwich, specified to fill one of their 35-barrel tanks in 10 minutes. The steam-engine was started at an ordinary speed, and the tank was filled a bumper in 4 minutes and 45 seconds (7 barrels per minute), superseding their Friction Pumps, which re quired more than 20 to 30 minutes to perform the same work, the time varying according to the state of the packing of the pistons ; for common Pumps are shuffling thieves, and rob England annually of millions sterling. One Norwich tanner considers his five Fountain Pumps saves him about 50/. per annum. Comparative wear and tear :—A Fountain Pump was fixed at Messrs. Hortons, dyers, Norwich, October, 1836; one leather will serve it for a year, whilst their Friction Pump required four leathers in a year for the same work. _ Raising of water for the uses of life being b rou g ht to a science by d the new rolling principle in Pumps, the result o f an y moving power is known, and all business men, such as brewers , maltsters, yers, &c., &c., &c., may estimate what power they want. Example.—For manual power a man of ordinary strength can apply 2111bs. force at a Pump levet', lift up 131b5., pull down 271b5., move his outer hand through 10 feet space, and average 30 such strokes per minute for an hour (and about treble that effect for 20 seconda). Now, as 201bs. force moving through 10 feet space raises 2001bs. of water 1 foot high, 30 such strokes raise 6,0001b5. of eater 1 foot thus, w 1 ee o e f Fo r to t r t o ) ht high, 100 gi high per minute, divide the 6,000 by the number of feet the water is raised, and it will give the quantity in pounds raised per minute to any altitude. It gives 6001bs. to 10 feet high, or 60 imperial gallons to 10 feet high, per minute, 24 gallons to 25 feet, 12 gal lons to 50 feet, and 6 gallons of water raised to 100 feet high per minute, which fore! continued for an hour, will fill a 25-barrel Tank, raising all the water 40 feet high. This Law cannot be broken. But for the Turnpike Trustees, the time it takes to fill a 6-barrel Water Cart, may be more ready for their government. For 5 minutes, 2 Men may raise 500Ibs. of water per stroke foot high, and fill a 6-barrel Water Cart to that height, in 9 seconds. Nu l tiply by 9, the number of feet the water is raised, and it will give to 75 seconds r 7, B ut ohg i foiee f eeftstoi e, wen: seconds allownand Bridge, int slld 0 tt l ooh o ome s t2soo e c len c c foi en: heighttle the time in seconds to any height.

The men pass the ttoot old P'tMpg to fill their Water Carts with the new Pumps at Yar mouth, just as We pads bUr old friends, when they have spent their last Shilling. THE CHAIN PUMP: The oldest Lifting Friction Pump, acts without Voltef hating several flat solid Pistons. The top Piston which takes the weight of the column of water, has nearly as much Friction as a Piston in a Common Pump, the other Pistons have some Fri:tion, and so have the joints of the Chain Sprocket Wheel, &c. The Ovate; con stantly repassing the Pistons in a Chain Pump, renders it an int , steady Machine, varying its effect according to the speed it is worked at, and the height to which it raises the water. A better machine for a 15 than for a 30 feet lift, because the greater the al titude, the faster the water repasses the Pistons. I have not seen a Chain Pump, but from the drawings, it is, without doubt, an ex pensive and very precarious Machine. Dare England assist in fairly testing this National Tax of defec tive lumber, against the Fountain Pump , by a mode o f t r i al, avoid ing nautical ' tricks till after decision, upon these the most frugal terms. If Government will command a best Chain Pump to be fixed with a stage for twelve Men to stand and pump upon at Nor. with, the Patentee will lend a room 55 feet by 27, and 23 feet high, with a fleet Well near the proposed stage, and fix a Fountain Pump by the side of the Chain Pump, in . ordAir that both Machines may be accurately te.ted against time, man for man, to the best altitudes for the Chain Pump, as not exceeding 24 feet. The Patentee's reward to graduate with the comparative merits of his invention : If the old Pump beat the now Pump, the Patentee to keep his Machine, and hear the expense of fixing the same. If both Pumps prove equal, the new Pump to be taken at the price of the old Pump. But if the Fountain Pump surpass the Chain Pump one per cent., the Patentee to receive a bonus of 501., and the like sum for every one per cent., when the gain is exemplified before the powers that be. ppoosrsteasb:Li in acovnevryenii e ig n h eY degre A superior effect is all that wants demonstration in this case. t F h o e r s e asregards properties the economy, Fonta i Fountain simplicity, um p non liability of chocking or deranging, durability, and easy reparation, these over the Chain Pump. And for steadiness of action, the new Fric tionless Pump stands alone, commonly performing, without the slightest diminution of effect for many years, whether in raising of water four feet or forty yards high. Thus, in a very brief space of time, have the discerning portion of society practically annihilated its every imaginary objection. Whilst the real defects of the old Friction Pump have continued for thousands of years, and under every possible modification must remain for ever. As life or death hangs upon the e ffi ciency of Pumps, humanity will aid th e progress of the only efficient machine. Delivering of the water from Ships in a sinking state at sea is a work of such vast importance, that even crowned beads would do well in excit ing competition for the best productions for that purpose. For constant exhibition it would show benevolence towards their sub jects, and guard the poor mariner by demonstration from fatal im position, from which to protect tie public is the duty of the world's Obedient servant and instructor, _ SH ALDERS. Patentee, Bank-place, Norwich, Sept. 20, 1838. POSTCRIPT. Accurate trials by manual force of the power of the old and the new public Pumps, with the height the water was raised, and the result reduced to one foot high, the true standard of effect : Amongst many other men one man, weighing 133 lbs., raised the most water at all the Pumps, working each Pump full speed for one minute. With one common Pump, the best out of the many upon Ayl sham road, he made 42 3i lbs. strokes, lift 64 feet, effect equal to 8,736 lbs. of water raised one foot high. With one Fountain Pump, (out of 6 from 50 to 95 feet long, each producing similar results), upon the same road, the same man made 34 6i lbs. strokes, lift 71 feet, effect 15,691 lbs. one foot. With one common Pump, constructed for contest at the half mile, London Road, he made 32 5 lbs. strokes, lift 66 feet, effect 10,560 lbs. one foot, being 5,131 lbs. less than the Fountain Pump. The two last Pumps tried half-minute time. The Common Pump's effect was 5,9001b5. 1 foot. The Fountain Pump's effect was 9,0001b5. 1 foot. Which last effect equals a barrel of water raised 25 feet high in 30 seconds. Two men at a time, working moderately, filled a 9i barrel water-cart in 14 minutes ; lift 71 feet. Friction renders it impossible to produce such results by common friction Pumps, because With the Old Pump the water is hoed up by a leather scraper. With the New Pump the water is weighed up by a rolling pressure. Pumps are made to work light or heavy, 'at pleasure, by keeping two levers. _ . One man can raise as much water 10 feet high, as 10 men can raise 100 feet high. Two men prove sufficient far road-work to 50 feet high • but if much higher it might be better to employ three men. The Trus tees may then treat the public with the luxury of sound, pleasant turnpikes. The wells should be made as wide as practicable—the bottom six feet Doctor Young says with the best-constructed common Pump a man can raise a hogshead of water, old wine measure, eighteen feet high in one minute, or 9,4501b5. one foot high—but he also remarksthat in practice the quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeds half the power consumed after over coming,, friction and leakage. Above fifty feet high was predicted to be the common Pump's stronghold. Result of trials 6,o99—majority 15,691 for the Fountain Pump. 9,582 for the Gnomon Pump, the average of the three Pumps named in their best condition, including the Doctor's.

The children, about sex and eight years of age, were at school at Mr. Ptomey's, near Mr. Mayse's residence. It becoming later than the usual time of their return, Mrs. Mayse became uneasy, and sent in search of them. The met senger proceeded directly to Mr. Ptomey's, and some of the family joined in the search; and they found the poor little in nocents, lying side by side in the road near to their father's gate ; their clothes decently smoothed down, and their throats cut from car to ear, apparently with a sharp instrument, w . ith , . - out any other mark of violence. Their bo•!ies were committed to to the same grave last evening, at this place. Threeo Mayse's slaves (a man and two women) have been ,n committed of their to gaol under strong circumstantial evidence ; guilt their seems not a shadow ofdoubt. —Richmond Enquirer. 'ynn— : THE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. Messrs. COVENTRY and SHADWELL held their Courts at Jack Straw's Castle, Hampstead-hill, to revise the list of voters for the parishes of St. John Hampstead. St. Mary ifmnsey (including Highgate and Finchley). No case of the le2st novelty or interest occurred before either court. In the Finchley list 15 objections bad been taken by the Reformers ; one of the notices of objection having been signed by Mr. Pouncey, and the remaining fourteen by Mr. Cop pock; but as the signature to these, namely, James Cop pock," was not in the handwriting of Ceppock, ell the objections were disallowed. The following is the result of the day's revision : Overseers. Reformers. Tories.. HAMPSTEAD ...Objections 29 46 Sustained 28 :..... . 22 FINCJILEY ......

Bur,Locx and WORDSWORTH revised the lists of voters for the several parishes and townships of Chiddingstene, Cowden Iladlow. Capcl Hadlow, bigh, Penshurst, Tonbridge, and Tudlley, at the Townhall, Tonbridge. In the case of the Rev. Edward Vinell, of Tunbridge, who was opposed by the Liberals, it Appeared that he underlet a part of his house, which reduced his own actual payment for rent to less than 50/. The Rev. Gentleman claimed as "oc cupying tenant," and on former occasions where similar facts have been proved, the Revising Barristers for this division of the county have decided that they were fatal to the claims. Mr. BULLOCK, however, retained Mr. Vinell's name. John Brook, the parish clerk of Tudeley, was objected to by the Liberals. Mr. WORDSWORTH allowed his claim. A case came before Mr. W O RDSWORTH, in which George Criddle, John Crump, 4ind William Diplock,: three of twelve Trustees, claimed to vote in respect of a frettlfilidisliapel be longing to the sect of Particular Baptists, in the pa-itch of Hadlow. Mr. WORDSWORTH reserved his decision until this Itiorning„ when he decided that in this instance he did not think the Trustees were in possession or in the receipt of the rents and profits for their own use, and he should, therefore, disallow the claims. TOWER HAMLETS Yesterday bad been appointed for the commencement of the revision of the lists fur the borough, by Messrs. Falconer and Keen, at the Golder; Eagle, Mile-end-road, and from the singular and unexplained absence of the latter, at White Conduit-house, on Monday last, a good deal of anxiety was felt, as it was understood no tidings bad been heard of Mr. Keen up to Wednesday morning, and as it was said be had left home without any provision for a journey. At ten o'clock Mr. FALCONER arrived, and should not be authoriied in going through the lists then. He had been in formed last night that Mr. Keen had sent in his resignation, as one of the Revising Barristers, to the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, through severe illness. Mr. Keen and him self had been appointed to revise the lists for Finsbury- and the Tower Hamlets, and notices, in their joint names, had been issued. The revision for Finsbury was to have taken place on Monday lasf, but 'Mr. Keen was not then present, and he postponed it, ha7ing no account whatever of the cause of Mr. Keen's absence unti: last night, when he understood he had resigned. He immediately communicated with Lord Denman, and that Noble and Learned Lord took the necessary steps to complete the revision. ' Until he had authority to act by him self, or conjointly with another Barristen he could not issue fresh notices, which were now necessary. Tuesday would be the most convenient to him. Wednesday vas .ultimately fixed on ; and Mr. Falconer would send the necessary Oetices if the parish officers isould take care they should be immediately posted on the Church-doors. Mr. Back assured the Learned Gentleman that should be done, and said the ahole borough was indebted to him for the manner ho had acted. HE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. SOMERSETSIIIRE.—During the middle of last month a good deal of wheat was put together in a damp condition, and that which has not been actually injured will come out of condi tion to the market. On the whole the crop of wheat does not turn out so deficient as was anticipated; but, as far as I have been able to ascertain, the quality is not equal to last year. WEST - CUMBERLAND, SEPT. 12.—Though the harvest has not generally commenced in this county, numbers have begun to cut their grain, and in another week the reapers will be busy everywhere. Though we are now in the middle of Sep tember, the hay harvest, in many places, is not yet finished, and, in a general way, the harvest has only partially com menced. On Sunday last, the day being remarkably fine, hay making was going on briskly in many places, and a great quantity put into ricks on that day was safely housed, in good condition, on the day folio:sing. DORSET. —The greater part of the wheat is secured, and where time vas given, in good condition. The crop is par tial, as in all exposed situations and thin land it has never re covered the severe ►vinter, and could it have been foreseen how the summer haft turned out, much more might have been ploughed up and resowo with spring grain to much advan tage. In favoured and well cultivated spots the crop is quite an average one, but A. by far the greater portion of this county is of the former description, the general average will come shout. _ _ _ •.. 61TAMORGANSIIIRE.—We arc now enabled to speak with some degree of certainty of the present year's clop ; the wheat proves to be thficient nearly to the extent of about one third ; that portion on good strong soils, aL4 well.sheltered, is a full average crop. The remaining two-thirds, which in clude all light clover.leys, although in tha best condition, and all inferior land, and in exposed situations, the crop is little more than half an average, taking the bulk of the V airaw„ and the deficiency of the ear into account. Batley and oats are a full average, in most cases above an average, and the quality is good. _ CIIESLDiE AND LANCASHIRS. --It is now pretty generally confessed the corn crop, both in Cheshire and Lancashire, within a reasonable distance of Warrington, arc much better than the farmers had, some few months ago, reason to expect. 'lr. Jackson, of Newton Park, Las just cut as fine a field of oats as was ever grown in the county of Lancashire. The wheat crop will be rather under the average, as it is thin in some districts. LiscoLNstitnE.t—The crops of wheat are considered to be ratter di.ficient in quantity, but the fine quality, in many in stances, fully makes up for the supposed deficiency. Of bar ley and oats there will be a fair average crop, and the quality excellent. _ _ _______ IRELAND.—The accounts of the harvest from the North are most favourable. A vast quantity of corn was cut last week in the county Down, and the farmers speak in high terms of the quality of the crops. From the &mill, too, we learn that the weather more resembles the burning - heat of July, than the usually cool feel of the middle of autonu. The Dublin Mail says " some heavy rain fell here this morni,g—but frcm the struggling appearance of the clouds, there is every reason to hope that it is not likely to be of long duration." i. 7 "-CCTLAND.-- For the last ten days the reather, we rejoice to say, has been exceedingly propitious. For one afternoon only during that time have we had the slightest rain, and for the rest it has been all that the farmer could desire—dry, sunny, and cheerful. On Saturday and Sunday indeed, the sun was considerably stronger than it was even in the months of June and July. Throughout the three Lothians the fields, we are informed, present a very beautiful appearance. The crops arc ripening fast, and in many places shearing is in ge neral operation.—Scotsman. As far as present appearances betoken, we could not wish for more propitious weather for cutting down the crops.-- Scottish Pilot. SPEED OF STEAMERS. (From the Liverpool Mercury ) The accounts which have been published of the astonishing• speed of re-rne of the American steamers, and especially of tfe Swallow, have staggered the faith of the English engi neers. The Nautical Magazine for August contains a piper on American steam-boats, in which we find a list of twenty-two steamers—stating tic names—where they were built—the length in feet—beam in feet—draft in feet—dimensions of cylinders and wheels—the dip—number of rcvoluti ins per minute--the route—average passage—loss in landing—speed in statute miles and in nautical miles, &e. According to that statement several of the vessels regularly, on an average, steam in an hour from twelve to fourteen miles, and the Swallow upwards of sixteen—that is statute miles, which, when reduced into nau- tical or geographical mil. s, gives somewhat short of fourteen. Great confusion and misumlerstanding results from omitting to state whether the distances run are in statute or nautical miles, between which there is a considerable dif&renee. The English statute mile containing 1,760 yards, wt.ilst the nauti tical or geographical mile comprises 2,0271 yards. We do not believe that any sailing sessel, large or small, ever passed through the water at a grea'er rate than twelve knots or miles in the hour, and we have 'lnn' it doubted by candid naat'e .1 men whether that speed I as ever been attained. This limitation, howcv,r, does not arise from the resistance of the fluid, or how would it be possible for so huge a body LS a whale, from sixty to a hundred ft et long, and broad in pi oppt_- Col, to move through the sea at the astonishing speed why? has be n ascertained, a speed so rapid that the fricrio,,ne: the Ike against the hot would ignite not kept constantly wetted ?
